Neither Devena nor the Countess could make up their minds about the solution Leo gave to solve the problem. They had received so many secrets today that they were unable to think about the problem in a normal way.

Seeing this situation, Leo did not continue to persuade, but said that they did not need to make a decision immediately. He needed to go to Lake Narnia, and the mother and daughter could think clearly during this time.

In addition, he also took this opportunity to ask the countess to issue an identity certificate that would allow him to travel freely in the West Green Emerald area.

Naturally, the Countess would not neglect Leo's request. The certificate she issued had greater authority than Leo's request, and directly granted the status of a count's special envoy. Not only could the towns in the West Green Emerald area be free to pass, but even

Some special military and administrative locations can also be traveled through, and Leo is given some power to directly call on the administrative and military resources of the West Green Jade region. This allows Leo to command West Green Jade officials to replace him if he is willing.

Do things yourself.

Leo was puzzled at first by the countess giving him more authority than required, but then the countess ordered her subordinates to bring a bunch of Narnia information that had been sorted out and seemed to be some years old.

Later, he realized that the Countess might have misunderstood the purpose of her trip to Lake Narnia, and this also allowed him to determine the external force that triggered the awakening of Devena's bloodline from the information that looked like it had been compiled over many years.

It is indeed Lake Narnia.

In this regard, Leo did not explain more, but accepted the countess's arrangement, and told the countess very clearly that he went to Lake Narnia to investigate just for Devena, and this approach also

To a certain extent, this reassured the Countess a little.

After making the decision, Leo did not continue to stay in Qingshui Villa. After telling the Countess and Devena some precautions, he left the villa with the dryad Luta Xi.

Leo was very dissatisfied with Leo's resolute approach. She also wanted to spend two days with Devena, but she couldn't say anything. After all, the countess and Devena both believed that Leo left immediately to get to know Devena better.

In Na's case, she was the only one who knew that Leo's original purpose was to go to Lake Narnia.

After leaving Qingshui Villa, Leo and the dryad Luta Xi did not take the forest road again. Instead, they followed the map provided by the countess and took a road that passed through three forest towns and reached Lake Narnia.

This road is also called the Log Avenue, because several of the largest logging camps in the West Green Emerald area are at the end of this road, in the primeval forests surrounding Lake Narnia.

In the information provided by the countess, these logging camps were also highlighted. The reason why they were mentioned in particular was because the trees in the forests where these logging camps are located grow very fast.

"Above Heaven"

In other forests, it takes at least ten to fifteen years for a tree to grow enough to be cut down for processing logs, but in the forest around Lake Narnia, the same tree only takes about a year.

It has grown to the point where it can be cut down.

The Countess also invited many scholars from the City of Academics to study this situation. The result was that they did not find a reason. They only determined that the anomaly in the forest came from Lake Narnia, and also determined that only redwoods could escape from it.

Lake Narnia is blessed with this growth, and other trees have no effect even if they are planted close to Lake Narnia.

Although judging from the data, the countess has invited many authoritative scholars related to the academic city to come here to conduct long-term research and inspections, but still has not come up with a useful result, but Leo still plans to drop by there.

Take a look at several lumber camps to see what is special about the redwood trees in that forest.

"You did it on purpose, right?" On the way, the tree demon Luta Xi, who had been silent since leaving the garden, suddenly asked Leo, but her question was so confusing that it was hard to hear.

clear.

"What's intentional?" Leo asked while riding his horse, turning to look at the tree demon Ruta Xi who was walking side by side with him.

Dryad Ruta took a few steps forward, surpassed Leo by one body, turned to look at Leo's face, observed his expression, and said: "You can actually completely cure Devena, you said that on purpose.

It can’t be cured, right?”

Leo was silent for a moment and asked: "Why do you think I can cure Devena?"

"Intuition, my intuition tells me that you have a way to cure Devena." Dryad Ruta Xi said truthfully.

Hearing this, Leo did not respond immediately, but closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, nodded, and admitted: "Yes, I can indeed completely cure your friend's problems, and I can even restore her eyes and legs.

Change back to a normal person."

Seeing Leo admitting his guess so directly, the tree demon Luta Xi didn't know what kind of reaction to make for a while. He stayed in place for a long time, until Leo walked out for a long distance, and then hurriedly

He chased after her and asked: "Since you can cure Devena, why not cure her?"

"That's a good question," Leo nodded and asked, "Then let me ask you, why should I cure her?"

Dryad Lutaxi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Leo continued: "Devenna is your friend, but what does it have to do with me? To me, she is just a passerby. Why should I spend my own energy to save a passerby? What does this mean to me?

What’s the benefit?”

"This..." Dryad Lutaxi looked embarrassed and said, "Aren't we partners? Since we are partners, then my friends are also yours..."

Leo interrupted Dryad Lutaxi and said, "Wait a minute, you seem to have mistaken our identity and relationship. Do you really think we are partners?"

Dryad Luta Xi opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. Instead, she fell silent.

Leo said truthfully: "Look! You don't think we are partners either. We are temporary collaborators at best. You are with me because of Bai Lu, and I am also with you because of Bai Lu."

With you by my side, our relationship may actually be just a little better than that of passers-by."

Dryad Rutaxi's face became a little ugly, and she couldn't refute Leo's words, so she could only lower her head and follow Leo silently.

After a while, she suddenly asked again: "Are you really able to cure Devena? You're not lying?"

"Yes, I can really cure Devena." Leo answered in the affirmative, but added: "It's just that this cure may be different from the cure you thought. If you follow my method and directly

If I treat Devena, not only will I have to pay some price in the end, but Devena will probably also pay a heavy price, and the final result will definitely not satisfy anyone, so I simply say it cannot be cured."

After hearing this, Dryad Rutaxi stared at Leo for a long time, as if she wanted to tell whether Leo was lying from the change in the expression on Leo's face. However, Leo's expression did not provide her with any useful information, so

She didn't know if she should believe Leo's words.

In fact, Leo didn't lie to her. He did have a way to treat Devena's physical abnormalities, and as he said, the final treatment effect would be very bad.

When he discovered that the reason for the out-of-control witch's power in Devena was the Narnia gem, he already had several plans to cure Devena in his mind, but those plans were very risky.

The operation methods lead to the same goal through different methods, with only two cores. One is to remove the Narnia gems from Devena's bloodline, and the other is to completely eliminate Devena's witch bloodline and turn Devena back into an ordinary person.

Although there are two cores, there is only one step required to complete these two cores, which is to extract Devena's witch bloodline.

In the world of Velen, both the church and the wizards have a history of studying witches, and their methods of research are also very rough. They capture the witches, and then try every means to extract the witch's blood, and then use them to

The bloodline is transferred to other people. The transferred person can be a woman, a man, or even not a human being. Ultimately, this will be used to see whether the witch bloodline can be stimulated and awakened.

However, this type of research only lasted for a short period of time. In addition to the revenge of the witches, more importantly, their research had no results, even the tower wizards.

The blood wizard Lawrence also collected relevant information with the support of Rupert Fitz. However, before the research was officially started, the United Kingdom of France was destroyed due to the dense fog beast tide, and the relevant information collected

It also fell into the hands of Sylvia along with the blood wizard Lawrence.

Leo also read relevant information at the beginning, and found from the information that both the church and the medical school have mastered a mature method to extract the complete witch blood from the witch's body, but the extracted witch's blood is transferred to

In other people, no matter what kind of body that person has, there will be extremely serious rejection reactions, and this rejection reaction is fatal and irreversible, even if they are blessed by the gods or cared for by the gods and become a divine scroller.

, still unable to eliminate the rejection reaction, and eventually die.

As for the witch whose bloodline has been drained, she will also age rapidly in a short period of time and will basically die within two years. Judging from the data, the mortality rate can be said to be 100%.

Just as Leo said to the tree demon Lutaxi, he can indeed take away the witch blood from Devena. Once the support of the witch blood is lost, all the mutations in Devena will stop and fade away.

With the help and treatment of Rutaxi's natural power, all abnormal parts should be able to return to normal. However, after doing so, Devena will only have two years to live at most. Even the gods cannot prevent her aging and death, so

Only then did Leo say that the cost of treating Devena was too high.

In addition to directly treating Devena will lead to Devena's death, more importantly, it can be said that Leo has no benefit at all from doing so, because the extracted witch blood will quickly lose its activity and will have no research value.

Only the living witch Devena allowed Leo to repeatedly study the secrets of the witch bloodline in her body, especially the secret that the Narnia gems could be integrated into her bloodline to increase her witch power infinitely.

Leo said that he could not directly cure Devena. He could only take Devena out of this world and go to other worlds to train the control of her witch power. He wanted to take Devena with him to study her bloodline, and maybe

It can give Sylvia a powerful enough witch subordinate.

Dryad Rutashi is very sensitive and can sense that Leo lied or concealed something about treating Devena, but she couldn't find a way to refute Leo's approach, because no matter what Leo did

What, he is the only one who can treat Devena now, but this fact cannot be changed. If Leo lets it go, then she can't imagine what Devena will end up with.

In this way, the two of them said nothing more about Devena's treatment along the way, and the two of them also did not have anything to say. They were silent all the way until they came to the map provided by the countess.

The first town marked.

However, what puzzles both Leo and Dryad Rutaxi is that the situation in this town seems to be different from what is written on the map mark. This town named Long Vine Town is not as described on the map description.

Such prosperity is actually extremely depressed, and after entering the town, the people you see are either women, children, and some old people, but you can't see any young men or teenagers.

Seeing this scene, the first thing Leo thought of was war. Obviously, only war would require large-scale recruitment of soldiers, which would lead to the disappearance of all adult males in a small town. Records from those abandoned towns in the Middle Kingdom area

Many similar things can be seen in history.

However, Leo is also confused about this inference, because judging from the scale of the war he participated in in the West Green Emerald Region, it seems that the West Green Emerald Region is not so difficult that it requires the adult males of a town to be drained, and more importantly

The location of this town is on the main avenue of the West Green Emerald Forest, and it is not particularly far from the Clearwater Villa where Devena trained. Even if the countess recruits soldiers to support the war, she will never choose Long Vine Town as her recruitment location.

point.

Although he was confused about the situation in Long Vine Town, Leo did not intervene in the investigation. Instead, he suppressed the curiosity in his heart, ignored the situation, repaired a little in the town, and passed through.

The central avenue of the town continues with the previous trip.

However, there are many things that he can't avoid just because he wants to. After passing through Long Vine Town, Leo continued to pass through the other two towns on the log road one day and one night later.

The situation in the two towns was actually the same as that in Ivy Town. There was almost no adult male seen. They were all old people, children and women. This immediately made Leo feel that this abnormal phenomenon might be related to Lake Narnia, so he went there
